Questions About Selling a House in Kingsport, TN

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what work the house needs and what you know about access and occupancy.

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You receive the written offer and written terms before you commit; the closing is through a title company.

You can call with the property address and what you know about its condition, occupancy, timing, or paperwork. You do not need every document or answer first. If you have a notice with a date on it, keep it nearby so you can share what it says.

Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax when the deed is recorded. The rate is 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property's value, whichever is greater; by law, the buyer pays it. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Tennessee's realty transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Yes. Tell us who lives there, what the lease or access arrangements say, and what timing you are considering. Those details can affect the sale plan, so share the information you have; you do not need to settle every tenant question before calling.

Yes. Start with the address and what you know about the estate and the house. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The title company can review the property-specific ownership and closing documents.

Often, yes, if the sale can close before the scheduled trustee's sale and the payoff, title, and other closing requirements can be met. Many Tennessee home loans use a deed of trust. When it includes a power of sale, the trustee can sell the house at a public auction without a court case. Under the usual notice rules in effect since July 1, 2025, the notice must run at least two times in a newspaper published in the county, with the first newspaper notice at least 20 days before the sale. The notice must also be posted online by a third-party internet posting company for at least 20 days in a row. The trustee must mail you a copy by registered or certified mail by the date of the first newspaper notice. Unless the loan papers forbid it, the sale can be postponed one or more times without a new newspaper notice, but it must still happen within one year of the original date. Each new date must be announced at the scheduled sale and posted online, unless the delay is less than five days. If the sale is pushed back more than 30 days, the new date, time, and place must be mailed to you at least 10 days before. For a sale under a deed of trust or mortgage without a court judgment, Tennessee law gives a two-year right to redeem unless the deed of trust or mortgage expressly waives it. A court-ordered sale has different rules. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

No. The City of Kingsport boundary overlaps Sullivan County and Hawkins County, but that citywide view does not identify the county for a particular parcel. Use the property's address and parcel records to confirm which county applies before relying on a county office or record.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the notice and property address so the question can be discussed against the actual house. For a City of Kingsport building or permit question, confirm the property's location and start with the City's Building Department.

You can ask us to review the property. The actual payoff and title details need to be checked for that house. Our closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
